Plesk has very nice and customizable user interface and there is allot of plugins you can install so you can customize it so it best fits your requirements.
Expensive for what it is. Customer support is horrific.
I have had some great years with Plesk. Great price for the ease of use and functionality.
The only thing that is a bit frustrating is the initial difficulty in applying updates on the main system due to a misconfiguration of the ports that are required by Plesk.
For me who manage small hosting services in VPS is a fantastic choice: it is fast, fast, at an affordable and reliable price.
Plesk does lack some advanced features that can be found in competing products, and isn't so intuitive for the admin side of things.
I like the great UI, the best thing is it supports both linux and windows server.
I once broke a development server while installing some Plesk components. It took a lot of time and google search to fix it.
Andrew: Hi. My name is Andrew, I'm a managing director. I give Plesk five out of five stars. For more reviews, see below. Before we started using Plesk, we used cPanel as our primary software for managing web hosting. cPanel, at that time, was only a Linux platform and it was clunky, it was slow. It felt like overall the user experience was, it just wasn't polished. They weren't putting effort into updating it and it felt like it hadn't really progressed in the two or three years that I was using that software. The reasons we chose Plesk is the user experience was just so much better. The interface was smooth, it was very responsive. They were continually releasing updates, and new features, and new integrations overall as well. I found that the hosting experience was actually a lot easier to manage the websites and to manage my clients. With Plesk, I just didn't need to worry about the back end of things and running the server, it just took care of everything. When I started using Plesk, one of the things that really struck me was its ease of use. It didn't take much for me to pick up how to use it. That being said, when I did need a bit of help they had plenty of videos, plenty of help articles. I've lost count on the number of times when I've typed in some obscure error and up comes this page that has walked me through how to solve it. Their onboarding experience was actually very pleasant, very easy to use. If you're considering buying Plesk, I thoroughly recommend it. Besides the fact that it's so easy to use, the fact that it takes care of everything in managing your server, the updates for the call, the management of the hard drives. I haven't needed to log into the back end of my server for quite some time. I thoroughly recommend that you consider it, not just for the web hosting element but for the total server management. Definitely consider some of those extensions that they do because they just help improve your experience with managing your server.
